Log Message:
-----------
Use snprintf instead of wsprintf, and use getenv("APPDATA") instead of
SHGetFolderPath.

This removes the direct dependency on shell32.dll and user32.dll, which
eats a lot of "desktop heap" for each backend that's started. The
desktop heap is a very limited resource, causing backends to no
longer start once it's been exhausted.

We still have indirect depdendencies on user32.dll through third party
libraries, but those can't easily be removed.
